Abstract

Air pollution is a major concern of now a day. It is caused by many gaseous as well as particulate pollutants. The ground level O3, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 are the main critical sources which can change the quality of ambient air in the atmosphere. This paper examines the temporal and spatial relationship between particulate pollutants and gaseous pollutants in urban air pollutants. The study of seasonal and diurnal average in the year 2013 to 2014, it shows higher fluctuating concentration in the winter season, moderate in summer and low in monsoon. The seasonal and diurnal correlation values show positive correlation in all the seasons with the interrelation of Gaseous and particulate pollutants.
